Is Contra big again? I didn't know.
Both games look really cool, but I'm not trying any demos until I finish Infinite Wealth.
@Lup Infinite Wealth is taking stupid long, lol, but I love it. On Ch 12 and clocked 71 hours so far.
@FarmDog08
Stupid long but I think I haven't been bored even once. I have like 45+ hours on Chapter 8. I see I still have a long way to go. 😂
@Lup I'm way overleveled though due to the dungeons. I'm around 48-52 for all available party members at this time.
Man, I just learn yesterday that Unicorn Overlord is coming to Xbox. Amazing news. I hope it's the first of many other Vanillaware games like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and GrimGrimoire OnceMore.
I'll be giving Unicorn Overlord a try. Had my eye on it for a while.
Two big releases? Are you kidding? I thought one would be Hellblade 2. Lol.
@FarmDog08
I just checked and I'm 50+ hours in. Damn.
I feel like that's gonna happen to me too. I'm LV42 with the Ijincho group. I'm just levelling up Jobs and getting those Memoirs.
@Lup I just finished the last of the available memoirs. I'm still missing a few. So I bet those pop up soon. I finished the battle ones and I have 5 Life Links left. I need to do some sub stories as I've only completed maybe 25. I only have two more characters to finish drink links on as well. This game is so much better than Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which was already great. I really need to do some Dondoko Island and Sujimon stuff too.
Unicorn Overlord is amazing and I can already tell it’s going to be a super dense game. I just hope people play it on Xbox.
I hope unicorn overlord gets the success it deserves. Glad it game to Xbox. They should bring previous vanillaware games over and put them on game pass.
@FarmDog08 @Lup I'm on chapter 8 and I've been playing for 90+ hours. Maybe over a 100. Completed the dondoko island and the sujimon trainer. But I'm nowhere near your level. I'm still at lv31.
@FarmDog08
Man, some of those Memoirs hit you right in the feelings.
I already did all the available substories so far (like 40), except the fighter guy and the Sujimon ones, but I plan on doing them.
@CutchuSlow
Damn, kudos on 100 hours. I think that's where our levels differ. I'm close to LV40 but haven't done much Dondoko or Sujimon stuff. Gonna change that on Chapter 9.
I also wanna try the Sujimancer Job which sounds hilarious.
@Lup I did sujimon as soon as I unlocked it and stopped after getting 3rd badge. Then when I unlocked dondoko island, I never left the island lol I just stayed there until I completed it. After I complete that, I went back to doing sujimon, but couldn't complete. So continued doing the story.
When I commented yesterday, I was actually on chapter 9, I'm on chapter 10 now. And I'm not sure if I did play for 100hrs as I've been afk a lot.
That sujimancer job is awesome. You're skills are as powerful as your sujimon are. So make sure you equip your most powerful sujimon in the gear menu.
